Wapping
Wapping is where News International moved to when they decided it was
too expensive to keep printing newspapers in Fleet Street, and the name
became associated with the pitched battles between police, sacked printworkers
and News International's security staff. However, this was a few years
ago now, and the printworkers, sadly defeated, moved on who knows where.
News International's print works became known as "Fortress Wapping".
The area is a strange mixture of new light industrial, council housing,
and along the riverfront, old warehouses converted into expensive flats.
